19. The pencil is said to be in compression and the outward force on each hand is called a thrust. If each hand applies a force of 2 units on the pencil, the tension or thrust acting on each hand is also 2 units because each hand is in equilibrium. 5 Which of the above diagrams is still possible if the pencil is replaced by a piece of string? Resultant forces and equilibrium You have already met the idea that a single force can have the same effect as several forces acting together. Imagine that several people are pushing a car.

2 A bird leaves its nest for a short horizontal flight along a straight line and then returns. Michelle models its displacement, s metres, from the nesting box at time t seconds by 5 s ϭ 25t Ϫ ᎏ2ᎏt 2, i) ii) iii) iv) v) 0 р t р 10. (A) Find the value of s when t ϭ 2. Explain the restriction 0 р t р 10. Find the velocity, v msϪ1, of the bird at time t seconds. What is the greatest distance of the bird from the nesting box? Michelle’s treacher tells her that a better model would be 1 s ϭ 10t 2 Ϫ 2t 3 ϩ ᎏ1ᎏ0t 4.

7 The graphs show the speeds of two cars travelling along a street. speed (ms–1) 20 speed (ms–1) 20 15 15 car A 10 10 5 5 0 5 10 15 time (s) 0 car B 10 20 30 time (s) For each car find i) the acceleration for each part of its motion ii) the total distance it travels in the given time iii) its average speed. 8 A car is moving at 20 msϪ1 when it begins to increase speed. Every 10 s it gains 5 msϪ1 until it reaches its maximum speed of 50 msϪ1 which it retains. i) Draw the speed–time graph of the car.
